Depending on the offense they can give you a one time reprieve when you show up. You will get a piece of paper that says you're good for the trip, but don't come back. The permit also requires a fee of something like $300 IIRC.

I worked on a ship that went to Vancouver, largely with the same people, once or twice a month for a few years. Several people made it in quite a few times before Canada decided they were persona non grata, and told them not to come back. One guy came in 6-8 times before they realized he ha been in jail for "kidnapping" and told him never to return.

You can also fill our the form, or hire a lawyer, for permanent rehabilitation. There's no guarantee that they grant it, and no timeline for completion. I've seen several people take up to a year, and some just never get a response at all.

I didnt pay anything or get any piece of paper a couple years ago. Either way, fuck Canada. Talked with my sister last night and she was like "you'll be fine. they will not turn you away. but have a plan B in case."
